Pano System for Cloud Administrator's Guide - Pano Logic

Evaluation Period for Unlicensed Use
To help you try out the Pano System for Cloud, you can run in an UNCONFIGURED state without
loading a license key file for up to 60 days. During this evaluation period the product will be fully
functional but warning messages on the lack of licensing will be displayed to the administrator in
the Pano Controller console. An example of these messages is shown below:
License Manager Unconfigured: No License Key has been loaded. [X] days remaining before
a License Key must be loaded. Please contact Pano Logic at licensing@panologic.com to
obtain your License Key to prevent any interruption in access to your virtual desktops.
Before the end of this evaluation period a License Key file must be obtained and loaded in the
Pano Controller for Cloud License Manager. If you fail to load a License Key file, the license state
will change to VIOLATION, continued use of the software will be restricted, and a warning
message such as the following will be displayed to the administrator:
"License Manager is in Violation state. Evaluation period has expired. Please load a
valid License Key. Please contact Pano Logic at licensing@panologic.com."
Pano Virtual Client
Pano Virtual Client also has its own 60-day grace period. during which you can run an unlimited
number of concurrent sessions. Even if you have a license key loaded that doesn’t include any
licenses for Pano Virtual Client, you are still able to try Pano Virtual Client. However, once you
load a license key that includes Pano Virtual Client licenses you will be limited to the number of
concurrent sessions equal to the number of unexpired Pano Virtual Client subscription licenses.
License States and Transitions
Pano System for Cloud deployments are always in one of several possible license states and each
license state has a number of possible transitions to and from the other states:
• UNCONFIGURED - this is the initial state a new deployment will be in until a license key file is
loaded in the License Manager. New installations can remain in this state for up to 60 days
before either moving to LICENSED (if a valid license is loaded) or VIOLATION (if no license is
loaded).
• LICENSED this is the normal state for a license and you are put into this state when:
* You loading a valid license key after being UNCONFIGURED.
* You were in WARNING but renewed a subscription license or maintenance right that was
about to expire.
* You were in VIOLATION due to an expired Pano Virtual Client subscription license or a
quantity of endpoints in excess of your license.
• WARNING is the state reached from a LICENSED state when:
* Subscription licenses for Pano Virtual Clients are within 60 days of expiring.
* Maintenance rights have expired for Pano Zero Client endpoints.
* Premium Support is within 60 days of expiring.
Note: no warning is provided if you are about to exceed the number of seats you are licensed to
use; only if a subscription license is about to expire.
• VIOLATION is the state reached when:
* If over 60 days passes in an UNCONFIGURED state and no valid license key is loaded.
* If LICENSED and a larger quantity of hardware endpoints is in use than is licensed.
